Can you Check In multiple objects (drawings. parts,
assemblies) atonce? Or do you need to Check In ONE Document at a
time?
Probably not doable, but can you enlarge the PDMworks icons.Sometimes due to eyestrain it can be difficult to see : )~
Are there any PDMworks tutorials available? Tutorials inVideo Format?

The easiest way to do this is to open your top-level assembly, resolve all components (if they aren't all ready), save and then hit "Check-In (Active)." The PDM window will open up showing you what you are going to check in. Make sure you have all properties, part numbers, yada yada filled in and make sure they are going to the correct project. Now, there are two buttons you will see side-by-side: "Drawings..." and "COSMOS..." When you click on these it will go and find the drawings but first it asks you for the location it should look for them at. Find the location you have saved your drawings in and hit OK and watch it load all of the drawings. If you have multiple locations, do this multiple times. Do the same if you want COSMOS results checked in. Again check that their projects and properties are filled in. If you are satisfied with all of this then hit "Check In" and watch your vault fill up.
You can check in other documents such as Word and Excel files but only one at a time in the SWx PDM Window. You might be able to check in multiples of these with the PDM Client but I am not sure.
I do not know of any video tutorials out there, perhaps someone else will know of some? When I have problems I refer to the help file. It is usually pretty informative.
As far as the icons - I think their sizes are set but there are a few keys in the help that will describe their meaning.
Good luck, hope this helps. Cheers.
